If you’re looking for a quick buck, this is the place (Only in tips the hourly is a joke). But if you want to be constantly drained by your coworkers and management save yourself! Some of the staff can’t even do their job properly. Management refuses to help their workers and makes them do things even when they are busy. They refuse to approve time off on any holiday. The area/customers are privileged people who always look down at you. The place is dirty, especially the carpet and the materials to clean are never working. You will always stay an hour or MORE past the time you were scheduled. Management and staff is always gossiping about their staff especially the new hires. Small breaks are only given to doubles or “favorites”(the minors wouldn’t even get one). Meals for doubles aren’t even free, they’re at a discounted price unless again you’re a favorite. Work somewhere else, trust!!

Overall i learned quite a bit in the food and service industry. My time there taught me lessons that wasn't your typical ones. Yes i learn about; Rum, serving, how to be bartender, and truthfully anything food beverage focus. For me what kept  me at Paladar wasn't the money or really benefits. It was the lessons i learn about life, thi25s restaurant gave me self awareness and deep lessons about who i am. For that i will always be grateful to them, once i developed myself  and felt a stagnant growth. I choose to leave on my own to choose a new experience to place myself in a uncomfortable situation to learn more.

Pros: I was getting a lot of money from tips!

Cons: My co-workers would speak badly behind the customers and the co-workers (i.e. toxic work environment)
On my schedule, it would state that I would be out by a certain time, but sometimes, I would leave an hour later. Sometimes business was slow, and they still wouldn't let me go! 
99% of the time, they did not provide breaks. My first and only break was a month after I was working. Sometimes I would work for 8hours and wouldn't get a break (I was also a minor at the time).

As a host, I started here to be put as a server eventually understanding the full hierarhy of restaurant life. 

The management here from 2015-2016 was absolutely terrible. Now, I am not sure because I'm not there but every single holiday, there was an assistant manager taking care of my schedule and always giving himself holidays off while me and another host were put on duty. 

It felt quite hostile AT THE TIME, like I said, now it may have changed. Really depends on management.

I usually have to balance multiple work station in the kitchen. I do enjoy the fact that i am constantly busy. I wouldn't say this is a hard job but you do have to like what you do and put your all into it to ensure the customers happiness. I make sure everything that comes out of the kitchen has a great taste and presentation. i have learned a lot from my years with Paladar but i am now interested in moving in a different direction.

The people in the kitchen were great when I worked there. The wait staff were also nice but only if you gave them tables if not they hated you. you would have to clean up after waiters at times because the would go on brake or sit down. Management was awful most of the time and they would make you more than the job description demanded.

Paladar is a great place to work for people who love having genuine connections with the managers and guests served. The restaurant tends to run at a fast pace and the menu is extensive, but the managers and employees are more than happy to offer assistance and listen to any concerns.

Absolutely loved working for Paladar! I had an amazing staff to support me through the hard times and a silly staff to keep the job interesting! My management team went above and beyond to keep us encouraged and focused! No matter how busy we got, we always had the support to get through it!

Great place to work and fun staff with good camaraderie.  Opportunity for advancement to management positions for the right person, if you are so inclined.

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever worked for anybody so unprofessional, unreasonable, or disrespectful. Just remember that you called me, not the other way around.
